What Next?

So, as you've read from previous posts I have taken a lot on my plate recently. Well, I thought I had been handling it just fine, but apparently my body has decided otherwise. The last couple of weeks about an hour after eating supper I have had horrible stomach aches, some of them that have put me straight to bed after I put the kids down. I backed off on the amount of food I was eating for supper for a couple of days and it seemed to subside a little. I thought, good, I guess I was just indulging too much, I can handle that. Well, not so much. We were at an "All Staff" meeting the other day and about an hour after I chugged a glass of orange juice, had some fruit and a bagel I all of the sudden did not start feeling so well and it got worse as the morning went on. I couldn't get out of that meeting fast enough. I hadn't brought my lunch to work so I swung through Taco John's and ate a couple of tacos and Ole's and that just seemed to make it worse. I was literally pacing around my office holding my stomach and finally I couldn't take it anymore and called the doctor and they got me in and I left work. I talked to the doctor and she said she thinks that I have an "ulcer" - what the hell?! Were in the hell did that come from and how did it sneak up on? They did a blood draw and sent me off to the other clinic this morning for an ultrasound to rule out a bad functioning gallbladder and I am awaiting the results. They did prescribe me some meds for acid in the stomach and ulcer fixing pills. So, now an hour before every meal I am popping pills so that I can eat. This was the first day of this for me and all was going pretty well until I decided to start my snacking while working this afternoon. I am a snacker, I would rather snack all day and eat here and there, but this is not going to work now, I could tell my stomach was not happy later after the snacks because I did not "pop" a pill before hand. The doctor also said that I had to quit drinking caffeine, alcoholic drinks, no smoking and eat a bland diet. I just did that for 9 months, I wasn't planning on doing that again. We will see if I can stick to it or not in order for the hole in my stomach to heal. I will post when I get more results of my test, wish me the best.
